What are Gutter Guards?
Rain gutters are basic and affordable considering the purpose they serve: protecting much more valuable parts of your house. Gutters keep rain off the wood or siding, windows, porch, deck and basement, routing it discreetly away from your home.
Therefore, anything that can protect your gutters and helps them function more efficiently is a good investment as well.
Gutter guards are an affordable product you can add to almost any style of gutters, and they function as a protective shield for your gutters so debris and animals won’t get inside of them. Purchasing gutter screens can be a money-saving decision that you’ll thank yourself for year after year.
There are a lot of types of gutter guard. The style you choose to install will depend on your available budget and the type of rain gutters you have on your home. Gutter guards are made of either aluminum, nylon or plastic.

Benefits of Gutter Guards
On average, gutter guards cost about as much per linear foot as the gutters themselves. In the long run, you’re going to save a lot of time and money by installing them. Here are some of the reasons we recommend to install gutter guards on your home:
Improve Drainage by Preventing Clogs – Gutter guards keep most debris out of your gutters. Otherwise larger pieces settle in the gutter first, then small pieces of debris collect around them. Of all the different gutter guard styles, all of them prevent these larger leaves and pieces of debris from getting stuck to start with.
Reduce Mold & Mildew Growth – Gutter guards allow water to stream through the gutters quickly since it is unhindered by any large debris. Water is one of the primary causes of mold and mildew to grow, so moving the water faster through the gutters reduces the time rain remains sitting still, leading to mold and mildew.
Prevent Pests from Nesting – Keeping squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects out of gutters and off the roof can be an endless struggle. Every type of gutter guard prevents pests from building nests within the gutter. Some homeowners decide to install gutter guards for this reason alone.
Gutter Cleaning Less Often – Gutter guards must be removed to clean the gutters, but if they are present, this job won’t have to be done as regularly. Leaf guards reduce the frequency in which you have to clean gutters – or hire a professional to do it for you – so that you may only need to have them cleaned out once each year.
Protection From Fires – A common way fires spread to homes is when embers fall into gutters where there is dry debris. This debris fuels the fire until it grows and damages the roof, followed by the rest of the house. A simple gutter guard installation can protect your home from this fire risk.
Prevent Ice Dams – If you live in an area that gets frequent below-freezing temps, snow and ice, you’ll be interested to know that gutter guards can help stop snow and ice from staying up on your roof. Their unique designs purposefully redirect melting snow and ice to get it off your roof much faster.
These are all problems that affect hundreds of thousands of homes every year. Gutter guards protect an important system that protects the rest of the house. If you haven’t considered installing them before, it may be time to think about it.

Professional Gutter Guard Installation
You can see, there are many benefits of gutter guards. While it may be tempting to go out and purchase the model you think will work best – how different could they really be, right? – you will still have to install them correctly. Ultimately, you’re much better off letting a professional gutter guard installation service do the project for you.
Not only will their installation be a lot more reliable than DIY work, but a professional gutter guard service and installer is going to be able to suggest the best type of gutter for your home in the first place. They know all of the options, and they will consider each factor carefully when making their recommendation.
Here are some of the factors a gutter guard installer will consider when choosing the perfect gutter guards for your home:
Material – Gutter guards can be manufactured with aluminum, plastic, foam or a handful of different materials. Some are designed for temporary use while others are designed to last just as long as your gutters. The material plays a key factor in how long the gutter guards will last.
Installation method – The only type of gutter guards we would suggest for a homeowner to install themselves is the drop in type that do not require any fastening to the gutters. However, these are not as dependable. Installing other types, including snap-in and screw-on gutter guards, can destroy your gutters if they’re not installed the right way.
Appearance – Many gutter guards boast a low profile so they aren’t visible from ground level, while some styles are very obvious. If this is an important condition, you will be limited on the style of gutter guard you can install, and limited even more by the style of gutters you have. If it is important for you to have “invisible” gutter guards installed, it might be necessary for you to buy new gutters.
Warranty – Many gutter guard styles will come with a short warranty, however most of the aluminum types are guaranteed to last for at least 10-20 years. By hiring a licensed gutter guard installation company in Brighton (instead of doing it on your own), you won’t void your warranty. Gutter guards should not lift your shingles, nor should the installation void your roof’s warranty.
Another great thing about having Brighton Gutters install your gutter guards is that we’ll return and fix them free of charge if there is any issue related to the installation.
Your budget is, of course, the last factor in deciding which gutter guards you will have installed. We provide a wide range of options for all budgets, and will provide the benefits listed above, to one degree or another.
